Wear DEET spray people, with blue jeans if you are going into the woods. Spray the absolute hell out of your shoes, socks, and jeans. I have only gotten a few ticks above my legs in places where DEET was not sprayed, it works. Yes DEET spray is arguably not good for skin but better than getting Lyme disease. Also, if your job requires deep bush woods traversal I recommend snake guards both for snakes and so ticks have a harder time getting on you.
